Laith Eskandar

Clinical Practicum Student Therapist

I know what it feels like to arrive somewhere new and not yet be known. To look for a familiar face and not find one. To wonder whether there is a place for you here. That experience lives in me, and it shapes everything about how I show up for the people I work with. I want you to feel, from the very first session, that someone is genuinely here with you — calm, present, and truly glad you came.

My approach is relational, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. I draw from person-centred care, motivational interviewing, solution-focused approaches, and trauma-aware practice, all under the clinical supervision of Laura Hoge, RSW. I recognise that you may already have ways of coping and surviving, even when those strategies feel strained or no longer fit. Alongside conversation, I may invite reflection through imagery, metaphor, or gentle creative collaboration, always at your pace and with your consent.

I offer low-barrier therapy for adults and older teens (16+) navigating identity, relationships, resettlement, and life transitions. I'm especially attuned to people who have had to explain themselves too many times and are ready for a space where that isn't required. I also offer sessions in Arabic. الجلسات متاحة باللغة العربية.

This is a space for beginning again, with care, warmth, and room for everything you carry. I'm completing my supervised clinical training with Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy beginning May 1, 2026, and I would be glad to sit with you.
